Letter writing tips

Clients have varying success in the response rate they obtain when writing to ladies. We hope these letter writing tips will be useful to those clients who, for one reason or another don't get many replies to their letters.

1. Use registered mail.

It doesn't matter how good your letter is, or if you are exactly what she is looking for. If she doesn't receive your letter, your wasting your time. Unfortunately, lots of mail goes missing in the former USSR. Registered letters require a signature upon delivery, and are generally returned to the sender if they can not be delivered. It costs a little more to send letters by registered post, and takes a little longer at the post office, but it is worth it for the increased chance of delivery.

2. Be open minded.

If you are fifty something, pick the cutest twenty something, and write only to her, your in for a big disappointment. The main mistake most guys make is, initially, to be too restrictive in their choice of ladies. You must remember that there are lots of other guys out there who also want to have a Russian bride. The ladies can, at times, be quite selective about who they write to, because they may have many suitors. The best approach is to select a reasonable number of ladies, about ten, and write the same INITIAL letter to each (see http://www.ukrainian-women.com/letters.shtml). See how many replies you get and take it from there. If you get no replies, read on.

3. Be realistic.

As in the previous example, try to pick ladies who are about the same age as yourself, and no more than fifteen year age difference. Although it might be nice to have a wife twenty years younger than yourself, how long do you really think she will stick around? Write to a number of girls, ones you find acceptable as your wife, not just the incredibly beautiful ones. Remember that the prettiest ladies get the most letters, many of the other very nice ones actually get very few letters. You only have to look past the first few pages of the ladies photo album to see some very nice but lonely ladies.

4. Be prepared to meet your ladies.

Unless you are willing to make the journey to meet your chosen lady, there is no real point in writing to a lady, so consider this when you start writing to her. Letter writing is fine, up to a point, until you've got to know her. At some point you have to meet her and decide, or someone else will do it for you and you will have lost her. Expect to meet a few ladies before you find the right one. If you pick ladies from the same city or area, then at least this will keep down the number of plane tickets you require. Have a look at Expedia Maps a great place for finding out where somewhere is. Our tours get booked up quickly during any months, so book early.

5. Consider the language problems.

She may be very beautiful, but if she doesn't speak your native language it will be more difficult. This is not to say only pick ladies who speak English, but just that you need to consider this when selecting who to write to. The language ability is shown as a rating from one to five, five being excellent, one being poor. Also remember the ladies can learn English very quickly, if sufficiently motivated, as English is a much easier language to learn than Russian. We can help with this through translating letters to/from English/Russian and providing a translator when you wish to meet the lady concerned. From our experience we know that lady who doesn`t speak English at all, in one month of active study becomes to be able at lest to understand you, and within period up to one year her English becomes fluent. If you write to a lady who doesn't speak English, it really does pay to translate your letters into Russian, as the lady may not understand what you have written otherwise.
